Otis on Deck

This is a painting of a sketch that I had done earlier. I just wanted to see how it would look in a more painterly style. This style takes much more time to do...in fact, I may consider just doing it in regular, traditional paint (eventually). I don't know which would be more efficient in the end...I suppose I just need to do more of them to figure it out for myself.

The only thing I don't really like about this particular piece is the subject isn't convincingly placed in the background, and I think that a more definitive shadow would read better to tie Otis into the environment.

I have a couple more digital paintings I am messing with...nothing too special as its all been done before, just not as much by me.
